To calculate the Equivalent Air Depth (EAD):
\[ EAD = \left( \frac{(D + 33) \times FN}{0.79} \right) - 33 \]
Where:
Equivalent Air Depth (EAD) is a concept used in diving to express the depth at which a diver breathes air that has the same partial pressure of nitrogen as a given gas mixture. This calculation is important for divers to understand their exposure to nitrogen and manage their decompression schedules appropriately.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ EAD = \left( \frac{(100 + 33) \times 0.78}{0.79} \right) - 33 = 110.61 \text{ feet} \]
The Equivalent Air Depth is 110.61 feet.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ EAD = \left( \frac{(60 + 33) \times 0.75}{0.79} \right) - 33 = 75.51 \text{ feet} \]
The Equivalent Air Depth is 75.51 feet.
